Cynics Unlimited

Typepad had a service hiccup yesterday that resulted in lost posts and/or comments. Any hosted service like Typepad is susceptible to this problem but that is little comfort to users who have to re-approve or repost content.

If you are a serious blogger who has been plagued by service disruptions or would like to have more control over your own content, consider this limited time offer.

Offer:

• Self-contained WordPress-based blog, attached to your own URL (see setup steps below)
• Select your own wordpress theme
• “Editor” status – you control your content (within legal limits)
• 100MB DB space; a “large” (undefined) amount of disk space
• Email redirect related to your URL (eg yourname@yourURL.com)
• Installation of various plugins to make your life easy (statistics, anti-spam, etc)
• Daily database backup via email. Store your posts and comments safely in case the unthinkable happens.
• … and of course support

Perquisites:

• English language only
• Good quality writing with enough original content. I am going to use the SmartAgent URL for verification (must score > 65%)
• Demonstrate directly or indirectly that your blog draws 100 or more visitors per day

Payment:

• No money involved!
• An ad column will be placed in the sidebar of your blog. See Psychopolitik for an example

Setup Steps:
If your blog is selected then you will have to do the following:

1. Register a standalone domain name (www.yourURL.com)
2. Select a WordPress theme
3. Setup for the (partial) movement of your existing data

Of course you will be guided for through all of these steps.

Sites currently hosted:

• Jack’s NewsWatch
• Psychopolitik

That is all. I’m looking for 2 (two) good blogs to host. Leave a comment here if you’re interested and/or want more information.
